About

The Barrow Group Performing Arts Training Program, located in New York City, offers professional and emerging artists training in acting, directing, playwriting, and screenwriting. You can view our upcoming class schedule here.

At the heart of the Barrow Group Approach is the desire to promote clear and concise tools of the trade. These tools are outlined and published in “An Actor’s Companion – 99 Bits of Craft” by Seth Barrish, TBG’s founder and co-Artistic Director.

What makes The Barrow Group different from many other studios in New York City is that all of our acting teachers have gone through an intensive teacher training program. This faculty training assures that students receive a codified, consistent learning experience from teachers who have been training with The Barrow Group for years.

In a nutshell, these are TBG’s beliefs about acting:

Acting is easy.

Acting is most exciting when it is spontaneous and moment-to-moment.

Unplanned behavior is usually much more interesting than planned behavior.

Relaxation is the key to many of the things we strive for.

The best technique is invisible.

The best technique leaves us free (free to imagine, free to respond, free to feel, free to whatever).

We don’t think there is one “way” to approach acting. It’s about finding whatever works.

Acting Classes for Kids Can Increase a Child’s Confidence

One of the biggest benefits that comes along with an acting class is the confidence each person takes home with them. The same goes if you have your child attend acting classes for kids. They get to learn from each other, show off their vulnerable side in a safe environment, and have fun all at the same time. Having your child take a class like this allows them to feel better about who they are and what skills they possess. If you want to be able to give your child a boost in their personal and school life, consider letting them dabble in acting at The Barrow Group.
